The famous forecaster Hayes claims why the price of Bitcoin will reach 250,000 dollars?
Bitcoin has been in decline since Donald Trump took office. However, according to some analysts, this situation may change. The Chief Investment Officer of Maelstrom, known for his predictions, Arthur Hayes, forecasts that Bitcoin will rise to $250,000 by the end of the year. Here are the reasons behind this ambitious forecast...
The Fed's policy could become a driving force for Bitcoin.
The signals from the Fed Chair Jerome Powell that he will ensure a greater influx of liquidity into the American economy reinforce Hayes' forecasts. Hayes urged investors to be cautious and keep money in cash, stating: "Be flexible and hold cash."
Moreover, cryptocurrency markets are undergoing a difficult period. Donald Trump's fluctuating customs duties policy has caused volatility in the markets. Since the president took office, the total capitalization of the crypto market has fallen by 21%. During the same period, the S&P 500 lost 6%, while the Nasdaq 100 dropped by 9%.
The SEC's defeat in the Ripple case and Trump's speech at the Digital Assets Summit could not even generate the expected activity in the markets.
Why is all this important for Bitcoin?
According to Hays, Trump's policies will force the Fed to devalue the dollar and inject large sums of money into the market, fueling fears of an economic recession. Noted economists argue that Bitcoin could take on a role capable of dethroning the dollar.
"They will print an unprecedented amount of money to stimulate the markets," said Hayes, believing that Bitcoin will benefit from this process. An increase in the money supply could boost demand for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies and shares of technology companies.
All analysts do not expect a bullish trend for the price of BTC.
However, not everyone shares these growth expectations. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju notes that blockchain metrics still indicate a bearish market. In his last weekly comment, he predicted that Bitcoin would decline or remain at the same level over the next 6-12 months.

Solana and the advertising reaction: The advertisement published by the Solana Foundation sparked a significant response in the crypto community and became the subject of harsh criticism.
Approval of XRP ETF: After the SEC closed the case against Ripple, the likelihood of approval for XRP exchange-traded funds (ETF) increased. JPMorgan predicts that these funds will receive $8 billion in incoming investments in the first year.

Activity in the crypto world is not decreasing. In the near future, the productivity of the Fed and Bitcoin will remain a critically important issue for investors.
